To Raise Money For Charity, a Man Is Walking Across the U.S. In Bear Suit

In the strange but true category, we have a story about a man in a bear costume who’s walking across the country, and it’s all for a good cause. He’s called Bearsun and he’s walking from California to New York City to raise money for charity.

Bearsun is about halfway through his journey, recently celebrating the halfway milestone in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He’s been on the road for about 70 days making his way across the U.S. in the 78-pound suit. “It feels good knowing I’ve made it this far for a cause because a lot of people were doubtful about it,” he says.

With the trek, Bearsun is raising money for five different charities, including Active Minds and the Autism Society for America. He says the suit helps bring attention and awareness to his causes and asks people he meets to donate to at least one of them.
